"JazakAllah" thank you brother Sheikh. Now ladies and gentlemen we will start the question
and answer session. But before I invite you to come up and ask questions let me explain
to you the process one more time. The ladies will be given a chance first and then the
gentlemen, when you come to the mic please restrict your question to the subject which
has been discussed and be precise in your question. Ask your question one at a time
so that other people also get a chance. Now if there's a question from the ladies section
I would request all of them to please come up and make a que on my right-hand-side the
mic is placed right here.
Okay there's this "ayat" "Al-Aaraf" 7: 126 on page # 13, this "ayat" mentioned that and
you take revenge from us except that we believe in "ayats" signs of our Lord and when they
came to us, so like you've mentioned that when we start following so people have you
know certain amount of desire for vengeance to us and they have certain contempt, so like
if they have it, should we mention this "ayat" in front of them?
A. You see, you must first understand, why, you see when you are implementing, you are
changing, so vengeance will come, so first of all I think they will do it, they will
try their best to harm you but the question is, "Allah" will not, you can talk to this,
you can talk to them refer this "ayat" that's why I'm referring this "ayat" people are taking
vengeance you can show this is going on and on in the world, but it is the, remember these
kind of people are like Pharoahs, the personality character trait of a Pharoah "Firown" he is
the person, his people, they are the people who take vengeance in this particular context
so in this world who are trying to behave like one he will take vengeance, he will try
to do the same thing because if he wants to implement that, you see the context I am telling
you before I read this "ayat" I explained the context of this "ayat" because you must
remember it is not with every people like this it is the situation in the world, if
people are trying to take vengeance then he must be following the similar character trait
of the "Firown" and his followers. Not everybody, if he's under the influence..(Alot of people
try taking vengeance but not upto the extent of "Firown" you know) no no, what I am saying
is, why should a lot of people should be taking vengeance against you practicing the "ayats?"
It is, I am telling you, it is those people who are trying to develop a character trait
of a "Firown" and his people, there must be a similar, similarty must be there, if there
is no similarity then you can not say that he is taking a vengeance on us that is what
I was trying to say I gave you the context the magicians who, when they saw "Moosa" (pbuh)
miracle, which was given by "Allah" to him, and they saw the truth, which knocks the falsehood
of the magician they agreed they believed and submitted, when they submitted, the people
"Firown's" people said, "Moosa" (pbuh) said, who gave you the permission to believe? when
I did not give you the permission how did you and I'll cut off your hands and feet from
opposite sides, so they said, this is their context, that you take vengeance from us?
just because the "ayat" has come to us? When the "ayats" came to us you take vengeance
because we believed in the "ayats?" Look at the vengeance because now we believe in the
"ayats?" so your job is to take this, believe this, you can narrate these verses but not
directly that you are behaving like a "Firown" that would not suit you but I said, it may
happen that's why I reffered to the context, and said it may happen to us also, so we must
always be sure about it, people are behaving like one because if they may not then the
"ayat" may not apply to them (So it's not a good idea to point it out to them) You just
educate it in the past like "Firown's" people (oh ok, in a nice way?) No, the context of
this is with "Firown" and his people, you can say with "Moosa" (pbuh) they went and
delivered the message and this is what happened (Not directly pointing out but giving them
message) That is the right way of doing it.
My question is from 68: 35 in which "Allah" says shall we treat the "muslim" submitters
like the "mujrim" criminals? so my question is who are "mujrim" criminals? I mean a person
who is not submitting or unbeliever is a criminal or a person who is hijacking or killing is
that a criminal?
The word criminal, you're asking the meaning, a criminal is a person, not only a person
who's hijacking, any person who's doing crimes like if he murders, he's a criminal and if
he rapes somebody he's a criminal of that, any person who's doing crimes by the, who's
not, there are certain rules and regulations in the "Quran" and he is committing these
crimes he's a criminal, established criminal, the person "mujrim" is a person who is established
criminal in the eyes of God now there are person that we say that this person may have
committed a crime or not then he goes for a trial then the crime is established on him
then he's suppose to be a criminal, but when "Allah" is using this word, "mujrimeen" he
is a established criminal who has committed crimes in life so "Allah" is telling who's
submitted for "Allah" telling the people that how can you say? Do you say that the person,
I translated differently that do you, that "Allah" here says, Do We make "muslims" like
criminals? "Allah" is making "muslims" and you're saying that they're like criminals!
"Allah" is not making "muslims" like criminals, so criminals are criminals, so in the world
when we see the people are doing crimes and we are saying they're "muslims" so we're saying
that "Naauzulbillah" "Allah" is like that "Allah" is making this, no, so "Allah" said
do We make "muslims" like criminals? I'm not making, "Allah's" making "muslims" submitters
for I end my lecture by saying "Allah" you make us "muslims" so when "Allah" makes a
"muslim" then he's not like a criminal, he's not like a criminal, he's not doing crimes,
who's a submitter to "Allah" when "Allah" is making "muslims" for Him he's not a criminal
so that is what "Allah's" saying do We make "muslims" like criminals? "Allah" is making
"muslims" submitters for "Allah" when "Allah" is making "muslims" submitters they're not
like criminals as people who are committing crimes in the world so people who are committing
crimes in the world they are not "muslims" submitters for "Allah."
And my second question is on page 5 & 6 the testament that "Yaqoob" (pbuh), "Ibraheem"
(pbuh) have given for their sons so can we also do the same? I mean for our children?
A. We have to. That is the example of "Yaqoob" (pbuh) And with this "ibraheem" and "Yaqoob",
Jacob left the testament for his sons. O my sons, surely "Allah" has chosen for you "ad-deen"
the judgment and do not die except you're "muslims" submitters, so this "ayat" is identifying
that the "Yaqoob" (pbuh) and "Ibraheem" (pbuh) left the testament behind that people should
take the judgment and they should not die except they're "muslims" submitters, so this
"ayat" we're reading it, we're getting the message right now, so this "ayat" will be
giving it to our people, offsprings, that they should be aware that they should lead
a submitter life to "Allah" for "Allah" and the testament will be, from "Yaqoob" (pbuh)
and "Ibraheem" (pbuh) we can always educate them that they should be like this (Like,
our children we should educate them) Of course, we should educate them but we should, the
best of the "tarka" we should left behind is that they should die as, this is the best
of the "Tarka", "Wasiat" that the best testament not this old testament and the new testament
of the christians this old testament and the new testament actually this is the testament
that they're looking for, they have forgotten this testament.
My question is from "Surah Hijr" "ayat" 2, page 13 and 14. Here, by understanding the
"ayat" I have a question that the people who are wishing to be "muslims" to become submitters
and they are rejecting like in true sense, like they are disguising, why they are doing
so? Why?
A. No, actually, I'm telling you if you read any "ayat" to anybody I said any "ayat" to
anybody, he will submit. He said this is right I agree now because you see, everybody wants
to affiliate himself to the reality, to the truth and right thing, everybody wants to,
what is truth and what is right everybody wants to affiliate to that so the "muslim"
"Islam" is a true judgment to attain peace that is true, what "Allah" says in the "ayats"
is true so everybody affiliates to this, if you show an "ayat" to anybody he will say
I agree I submit but he will not follow, since he's rejecting and he's not following so he
said I submit, so he's "muslim" but that is wishful thinking because he knows that this
"islam" and the judgment is so true you cannot say that its wrong, so people want to be with
the right people with the right system, so in other words he will say yes I agree I submit
to the "ayats" but actually he's rejecting because he's not following you're asking why?
Because actually he's not true when he says I submit, he will say I agree this true but
I have been programmed into this kind of schools of thought every human-being which I have
discussed in my life he says I submit to the "ayat" but he will bring his but, my family
members, my ancestory, I was programmed into like this, so we all in the environment people
are thinking like that you are saying something new, but this is true why can't the other
people see this? This is true, this is right so basically he's submitting, but at the same
time he's rejecting because he's not implementing, so the moment he implements that is how, but
he doesn't because of his environment because he's been programmed with certain things and
he will only say we wish that we're "muslims" again and again he's wishing, "kaash" I should
be a "muslim" I should be a submitter, and we should be, and he will also yes I am not
practicing I should fast, I should pray, I should do this, and I understand, I must do
this so but he will not. So it is again, another example is, like for example a person who
is involve in drinking in true sense you ask him, yes I know it is wrong, first sentence
he will use, I know it is wrong but I am addict to it I am trying to leave but you know I
am doing this, so wishful thinking is he want to submit to leave it wishfully he wants to
leave it that's his submission because of this "ayat" "Allah" says do not drink so the
thing is he is agreeing so any person who is involved in the wrong acts and is not practicing
the right acts he will wish to do that he will wish to submit but he's rejecting he's
not doing it so what I am saying in "ayat" in "Quran" people want to submit, yes I know
it is wrong I know I should not drink I know that i have lost in gambling so much of my
money I know that it is wrong but at the time he will be sitting and playing it, this is
my last time, I will, then I will say I will not do it this is again people are involved
in wrong things thinking that let me do this last time I will not do it again so that is
submission but in the true sense he is the rejecter of the "ayats" he must submit and
implement he must not not play two games, this is "Allah" says that is a rejecter that
is how he's becoming a criminal also further he will go to, do big crimes, do big crimes,
so what "ayat" is saying again and again, those who reject wish that they were "muslims"
submitters they're just wishing to be submitters but in the true sense they are rejecting all
their lives so I was trying to tell you that in the life whenever the understanding of
the message is through to them they submit but they don't implement because they are
addicted there feelings are so much attatched to the wrong doings and not even practicing
the right things addicted to wrongs so they wish they were "muslims", yes I know we should
be "muslims" we should pray, we should understand, we should read the "Quranic" translation,
we should understand and "Quran" read this, we should do this, we should educate them,
they say yes we should do all this but we are not doing it. (like not sincerely following
it) they say we're not doing it, we should do it, they say we should do it, but I'll
try, I'll do "Inshallah" what i'll? i'll? You age is passing by the more you're saying
i'll, i'll you are becoming like that! You have to kill the "nafs" the psychology of
the wrong you have to do it. That is how you are not a rejecter you are a "muslim" for
"Allah."
I am asking the question from "Aal-Imran" 3: 84, so there's a mention "ayat" so according
this "ayat" the people say "sab se alla humara nabi" this is I think this is wrong, according,
(what did you say in English? we do not make difference among another) Yeah, we do not
make difference or we do not categorize any prophet as a bigger or (smaller) small, so
this is to say "sab se ala humara nabi" by the people I listen by many people I think
as far as it is wrong, what is your opinion about?
A. Okay, actually you're trying to say that "Mohammad" (pbuh) is more higher than the
other prophets (No I mean it is the concept of the people) yeah I understand, so now I,
so if you look at...so in this "ayat" you will read, the question is, the question i
should clarify may be the question was not clear, he's saying that we should not make
distinctions among the prophets, you should not make any difference among any of the prophets
and we are "muslim" submitters to Him. So now I would like to explain the situation
that...So there are messengers whom "Allah" has given grades "Allah" has raised them in
grades, you understand? So "Allah" says some of them have been raised into grades, (Arabic)
some of them he's bestowed more, like "Sulieman" (pbuh) now we see how the messengers are,
"Sulieman" (pbuh) was given the kingdom in this world that no messenger has been given
"Sulieman" (pbuh) and his son "Dawood" (pbuh) he was the "Khalifa" "Dawood" (pbuh) was the
"khalifa" on this earth planet, that was by name, if you want to find out who is the "Khalifa",
"khalifa" means viceroy of this region, the planet earth, by name is "Dawood" (pbuh) Who
is the "imaam" the leader? "Ibraheem" (pbuh) To whom "Allah" spoke directly is "Moosa"
(pbuh) to whom "Allah" streghten with His spirit is "Essa" (pbuh) and for "Mohammad"
(pbuh) the "alla" word "alla" we're talking about the honor, "alla" is in... that is what "Allah" gave to "Mohammad" (pbuh)
so we must always go as we, we can't say that "Ibraheem" (pbuh) is we can't say "Nooh" (pbuh)
is now this is referring to "Mohammad" (pbuh) to honored, raised, the most "azeem" "khalqat"
character. So these prophets to whom "Allah" gave the degree "Daraja" we must believe according
to the degrees or "darajaat" that "Allah" has given so if "Allah" has made him the then
we must believe that he's the we cannot attribute this the good moral character to any other
person they are of the good, they are of the best of the characters all the prophets, all
the prophets, "Ibraheem" (pbuh) the "Imaam" the leader and the "khalifa" was "Dawood"(pbuh)
and the kingdom was given to "Suleiman" (pbuh) and "Essa" (pbuh) was strenghthen by the spirit
and "Moosa" (pbuh) "Allah" spoke and there are other prophets, so and so, but what I
am saying "Allah" says so he's the this is what I am saying. (right, so I am saying that
we cannot categoriez the prophet that he's the superior than, ok, every prophet is superior
than, but) No, hold on, you're not getting, you're not following, it is there is a difference
among the prophets there is a, "Allah" said to "Mohammad" (pbuh) that he is the "alla"
so "Allah's" giving this honor so I must believe in this honor he's the that he is the most
high and honorable good character that is what "Allah" says to him you understand now?
Now you can't give this honor to other prophets, they are of good character but he's the most
high so you have to believe the way you cannot subract this character for him from him, so
this is the honor that has given some "Allah's" given the degrees so according to the degrees,
according to "darajaat" we must believe and we should not make differences that "Essa"
(pbuh) was strenghten by the spirit you say "Mohammad" was (Arabic) we can't make this
difference we can't change the attributes or the "darjaat" that "Allah" has given to
some above others so whatever the degree or the "darja" is given by "Allah" to anyone,
we must refrain it to it we will not make difference that this is this degree you put
this degree to other person we must follow or believe according to the degrees or "darjaat"
given to other prophets like "ibraheem" (pbuh) the "imaam" all mankind so you can't put this
"imaam" on "mohammad" (pbuh) that he's the "imaam" for all mankind you can't do this
"mohammad" (pbuh) is the "khatiman nabeyeen" he's the seal of the prophets you can't say
"ibraheem" (pbuh) is the seal of the prophets then you'll be making difference (Arabic)
we do not make difference or distinction among anyone of them we believe as the "darajaat"
given by "Allah" to various degrees various "darjaat" to other prophets so we believe
in that context we must not make differences are you understand? If he say "alla" (arabic)
we believe that. Thank you.
Question refers to Surah Bakra 133 page # 5 it's written here were you witness when death
came to "Yaqoob" Jacob and when he said for his sons you will serve after me the question
relates to first part of it were you witness? Why is it being emphasize in this particular
"ayat?" Why is "allah" asking us to whether we were witness to this particular occurence?
Is there any particular reason for this?
A. Actually this is a question that "Allah's" posing because generally and there's a "ayat"
in the "Quran" if you look in Surah Bakra 2: 140 "ayat" the question is, the brother
is asking, that why "Allah" asking were you a witness when the death came to "Yaqoob"
(pbuh) when the death was nearing to "Yaqoob" (pbuh) and what did he say, what was the message
said by him? And if you look at the context in one of the "ayats" in "Quran" "Surah Bakra" 2: 140.
Actually why "Allah" saying that were you a witness because the context in that "ayat"
is that who will you serve after me? And they all said we will serve the one "Allah" and
we are "Muslims" but the people in the world are referring them that these are the jews
and christians these "Ibraheem" (pbuh), "Ismail" (pbuh), "Ishaq" (pbuh), "Yaqoob" (pbuh) are
all jews and "nasara" they, today also, they are referred as jewish prophets so this is
the context that "Allah" is posing a question were you a witness what happened when what
they said? All these prophets said we are "Muslims" so "muslim" is supposed to be starting
after "mohammad" (pbuh) that is the context, so "Allah" says were you a witness at that
time? When the death approaches to "Yaqoob(pbuh)? And he said whom will you serve after me?
And they said we will serve your "Illa" the "Illa" of your ancestor "Ibraheem, and Ismail
and Ishaq," first of all the serving of "Allah" is one and we are "muslims" so these people
are referring to the world these people, these "Ibraheem" (pbuh), "Ismail" (pbuh), "Ishaq"
(pbuh), "Yaqoob" (pbuh) they are referring that they were Jews! They are Jewish prophets,
to this context and another "Ayat" in "Surah Aal-e-Imran" 3: 75 "Allah" said that "Ibraheem"
was not a "Yahoodi" or "nasara" but he was a "muslim" why "Allah" is trying to clarify,
look in the 3: 67 "ayat" that "Ibraheem" was not a "Yahoodi" or a Jew or "Nasara" or a
christian but he was a true "muslim" and he was not from the associates why "Allah" is
saying that were you a witness because these people are labelling them all these prophets
as Jews and "nasaras" and "Allah" is to clarify again and again if you notice in the "ayats"
now in this "ayat" particularly "Ibraheem" (pbuh) that he said He said I submit for the
Lord of the worlds "Ibraheem" (pbuh) and people are saying he was a Jew, so you watchout if
you follow "Ibraheem" (pbuh) and "sunnat" or example of "ibraheem" (pbuh) people will
call you a Jew so were you a witness at that time? So this is the same in circle show this
"ayat."
.Second question pertains to "Al-Haj" 22: 78 verse page number 7, and you strive in
the way of "Allah" as the right of "jihad" striving in the way of Him, He has chosen
you and he has made no difficulty over you in "deen" the judgment. So ahead "Allah" asks
us to strive to the optimum level or the best of our abilities and as his prescribe as the
right of "Jihad" yet in fourth or fifth line he's said that he's made no difficulty over
you so in the masses here, you know, we get to know that there's flexibility in the religion.
Perhaps they take difficulty as flexibility, so is this the case?
A. No, you see in following the judgement that "Allah's" mentioned in the "ayats" they
are very easy "Allah" says He's made the "Quran" easy meanings in following to whom interest
to take guidance who is the person who wants to admonish in his life! So in that context
"Allah's" made it easy so it is not the reading of the "Quran" only it is essence in the message
in the "Quranic" "ayats" that the it is very easy, that is why "Allah" says it is not difficult
but the one who does not want to govern his life he says it is difficult there's no such
thing as flexibility. You know "Allah's" laid down very straight, clear "mubeen" very clear
governing "ayats" which if you implement is very easy not a difficult issue at all, it
is a difficulty for those who do not want to lead their, the "shaitaan" has caught hold
of them (like you said yesterday you can't look for short cuts you have to follow them
as they are so there's no flexibility) no, no flexibility (they just have to be followed
as they are) yes, thank you.
Again the same "Younus" 10: 90 that you just discussed you have mentioned that so "Firown"
and his forces followed them in wrong and enmity what we have been hearing and learnt
to believe Pharoah's forces physically followed "Moosa" (pbuh) in the sea and then he drowned
the sea came down and he drowned. You're say that, you're interpretting it as such Pharoah
was follow him, like as if he's understanding him and understanding their religion that
he was trying to promote and we know it to be that he was physically following him and
the forces were following him and his "Chariot" and somethings like that going there to kill
him, kill the children of Israel and the sea came over him and then he drowned. You're
saying that he did not drown like that?
No, you see the Arabic says (Arabic) "bahr" referred as sea we took the children of Israel
across the sea yeah, across the sea, so Pharoah's followed his forces followed them (followed
them in the sea) hold on, in wrong and in enmity you see ( the following was they were
just following the people purpose was to prove him wrong and the purpose was in enmity and
the message was when "Moosa" (pbuh) given to "Firown" was the message of "Allah", "Allah"
said to to "moosa" (pbuh) go and deliver the message to "Firown" so "Moosa" (pbuh) and
his brother "Haroon" (pbuh) they came and delivered the message to "Firown" so then
he brings the other people, the magician that he brought and there are different ocassions
that you read, there are many many places that they were message was given and they
agreed also and then after when the punishment was remove from them they didn't follow so
this is was going on so in that connection they followed i'm telling you. They followed
"Moosa" (pbuh) they agreed to it also but then when the punishment was removed the blood
and all these things were given and then it was removed and then the moment it was removed
then again they went back so it was again by the essence of the other "ayats" I know
they followed "moosa" (pbuh) to, in enmity and wronging "Moosa" (pbuh) so they may have
drowned in the sea that's not the issue, drowning is in any aspect, in the sea but the point
is that you should not follow messengers in enmity (you just mentioned as if he died his
own death in the sense that it was not drowing that during the time that he learnt, suppose
"Moosa" (pbuh) and his people went and after that he realized that he was wrong and "Moosa's"
message was correct what we are known to understand is that he was drowned there and then in the
sea when he was following "moosa" (pbuh)) Following is what I'm trying to say, following
is "Moosa" (pbuh) he followed "moosa" (pbuh) in what aspect, just followed or by in enmity
or in wronging him (that has two different ways to what you're saying. What I'm saying
is that he followed him physically into the sea, you're saying he followed him in another
sense) and what was message was delivered to him? What was the message delivered to
him in that he followed, the "Firown" and his people (Follow meaning is agreeing, he
agreed to it, more or less) No followed in enmity, the intension was not to follow the
intention was to in enmity to find, to prove him wrong to (fault in him, okay, but he did
follow physically into the sea behind him and then he was drowned that is what I am
trying to say, is that what) You see, in Arabic there's another, the Arabic word "Bahr" is
written here, sea, when we took the children of Israel across the sea, they were across
the sea so Pharoah and his forces followed them and in wrong and enmity until he dies
of drowning now it appears to me, that apparently it doesn't say he was drowned in the sea "Adraak"
is word that is referred to comprehend, he comprehend, "Hata" until he, when he comprehend
of drowning, comprehend of drowning, again the word comprehend is related to this understanding
not physical drowning. You see the words in Arabic is not referring that he was drowning
in the sea it says simply, he may have drowned, death can come in anyway, no the question
is how he died, maybe in the sea, he was drowned in the sea the question is, the point is that
i'm trying to draw from here that the person "Moosa" (pbuh) was the messenger of "Allah"
and the message was given to "Firown" to take guidance but they did not take the guidance
they followed to prove him wrong and in enmity and finally he comprehended whatever the time
factor is that he was drowning so at that time he realized and said that I believe so
what I'm trying to draw the essence from it that physical drown of the sea okay drowned,
okay agreed, but the what was the purpose? Why he, what, why he realize this? What did
he comprehend? Because all his life he was trying to follow what "Moosa" (pbuh) was saying
that is at the time he realize to find out, all the time he was trying to understand what
he was saying, what he was trying to say, what he was saying to his people so in that
connection I;m saying that people when the message is delivered to them they listen to
it and they recognize it but becaus eof the enmity they don't follow in the true sense
because of the enmity is there and because of the, to wrong the person that is that,
these two factors does not let them understand this is how it becomes a barrier of not following
the essence that is why these two words are used that they followed they followed him
"Firown" and his people, his forces, in enmity the followed and in wronging they followed
so that is why they drowned the result is that, because they were wrong.
In fact I was not coming to ask the question because of this 10th Surah and 90 "ayat" I
was thinking if I'm falling in the same category but later on I decided to come and ask the
question because of the Surah 3, Aal-e-Imran and 103 verse anyway. The question is that
from all the verses that we have it here I have the understanding that the "muslim" word
is referring to the positive, it's positive word, it's all the way throughout the "ayats"
I'm hearing that it is a positive word it's not, it does not tell anywhere that a person
who's following to Christianity he's also a "muslim" (no, "muslim" means what it means?)
"Muslim" is submitter (so?) so submitter to the Christianity or any other religion right?
So is there any other "ayats" recorded in "Quran" other than what we have in it in booklet
that (there are other "ayats" also) that tells that "muslim" is a general term (Muslim means
submitter, don't say it's an English word, its a general term, it's submitter) yes it's
submitter (okay) can we come to know, can we get the point clear that this word submitter
is used in any other "ayats" which tells us that the other religion (you're trying to
explain the word) No, (the "muslim" in Arabic means submit) submitter..
you see if I submit to anything so I am submitting to that it may not be used in the Quran but
in Arabic language there are hundreds of people that are using that I "Aslim" to Bible what
are you talking? They say I'm "muslim" to the Bible, the Arab say in Arabic, Arab will
say I am "muslim" submitter to Christianity in Arabic language so this is not that you
are asking this word I should show in the "Quran" that he's submitting to Christianity
I am using the word the meaning, I'm telling you the meaning of the word, if I submit,
in Arabic language I will say "Ana-Aslim" "li" Christianity, for Christianity so the
problem is that he will say this way but you are asking show me in the "Quran" it's not
in the "Quran" it's not the word that "Allah" is using for other submission, but "Allah's"
used his word for Submitting for "Allah" but that is why "Allah" saying that they should
be submitting for "Allah" that is why that is why "Ibraheem" (pbuh) is saying, that is
why "Allah's" asking to "Ibraheem" (pbuh) when "Allah" asked to "ibraheem" (pbuh) for,
to submit he says why is he asking this? If there were other submission then Now in this
Aal-e-Imran 3: 4, Do they seek other than the judgment of "Allah" whosoever in the skies
and the earth then voluntarily, willingly or dislikingly, submitting to Him. So now
if a person is not willingly submission then he must be submitting to "Allah" in anyway,
but submission is there, but that "muslim" is not referring to right "muslim" now in
the terminology you asking (Arabic) "Aslim" the word "Aslim" is there (Arabic) and for
him submit (Arabic) that for Him are submitting, whoever is in the skies and the earth (Arabic)
voluntarily, willingly (Arabic) so "Allah" is trying to in any case if you submit to
the devil ultimately you're submitting to "Allah" because this is also "shaitaan" and
the "munfiq" and the "mushriq" and everything is in the "Quran" so in all the way you are
submitter dislinkingly or winnlingly, positively or you want to use the word here, negatively,
but you'll be submitting to "Allah" in any case that will lead you to fire also again
because you are doing wrong and you know you'll get the fire and you're submitting to that
and you are getting fire. You understand what I'm saying? Dislikingly we're submitting to
"Allah" and getting the fire from, in the result, so submission is there in this "ayat"
it is mentioned here that (Arabic) for Him submitting (Arbaic) willingly or unwillingly,
or voluntarily or dislikingly unvoluntarily, so in the world people are, they say they're
submitting to Christianity so "Quran" says about the "Essa" (pbuh) "Allah" says that
they will say, that the Christian, there are people who will say Christ is God, so they
are thinking they are following the Bible they bible does not say the Christ said I
am god but the "Quran" say they reject "Essa" (pbuh) and they will say Christ is God so
they are unwillingly submitting to the "ayat" in this connection there are many, many "ayats"
that people are following and submitting unwillingly to those beliefs which is not their beliefs
they are supposed to be their beliefs but it is mention in the "Quran" about the hypocrites,
about the "mushriqs", hypocrites means "munafiq" the "mushriq" are the associates so they are
already submitting, they read and they are submitting and for them there's fire, and
they say yes, we'll go to fire so this means they are believing in "Allah" and they believing
that they will go to fire and still they are doing it so this, dislikingly submit, total
submission, in any case you are submitting to God, but in a language people are saying
that I submit. To, in Arabic language they say I submit to Christianity he say I submit
they use the word "Aslim" or "salama" or "Muslim" "aslima" right? Okay.
My question is related to Surah Al-Qasas 28, page number 17, what those people who say
we are "Muslim" before? Because, for becoming a "muslim" we have to submit and we have to
agree?
A. Yes, "muslim" means submit na, (yes) so suppose I was not drinking alcohol, I was
not doing wrong, you understand, some of the "ayats" when the ayats are recited to them
that gambling is not right, okay, that "ayat" or do not go near to adultery, that "ayat"
those "ayats" that a person is submitting without listening to the "Quranic" "ayat"
he was already submitting to that, that he was not going near to adultery, he was not
gambling, he was not doing things wrong acts so when he read the "ayat" and when he read
the "ayat" that "Allah" has forbidding not to go to these things so he was already a
"muslim" for that ( so what is the difference between that a person who is following, submitting
and) he was already submitting, to the essence of the message when delivered to him before
the reading of the "Quranic" not after he did not start doing it, you see there are
people who listen to an "ayat" and they were doing certain things wrong so then they correct
that also people, (but the case is non-muslim) but sometime, sometime, there are things that
a person when you read an "ayat" there are certain things in the "Quran" which you are
doing wrong so you listen to the "ayat" and then you submit become a "muslim" but there
are certain things you know, you don't know but when you read an "ayat" you say, I was
practicing this, I was already submitting, I knew this was right you understand? In that
context you are a "muslim" submitter from before of that particular "ayat" not the whole
"Quran" not the whole "Quran" only on those (that part) on those "ayats" the "ayat" says
whenever the "ayats" starts with this na? Whenever the "ayats" is recited on them so
they said we were "muslims" from before that is right, the truth, what is that "ayat" (Arabic)
When the "ayats" are recited over them they say we believe with this (Arabic) surely this
is the truth from our Lord, surely we were "muslims" submitters from before in those
"ayats" that particular "ayats" that was recited to people and they were already a submitter
to that and they listen to that that I am telling you that they were not doing gambling
that they were not playing cards, they were not gambling, they were not doing adultery
and when they listen the "ayat" says that we should not do I will say I was "muslim"
before I was submitting to this before. When the "ayats" were read to me, not the whole
book of the "Quran" only those "ayats" which I heard and I was already a submitter from
before so I'll say I was a "muslim" submitter from before (Submitter for "Allah?") For "Allah"
these "ayats" are of "Allah" na, (no) yes, these "ayats" are "Allah's" "ayats", these
are "Allah's" "ayats" they were recited on me and I was a submitter of these "ayats"
from before, before these "ayats" recited to me I was already submitting to the "ayats"
but I didn't know it was written in the "Quran", I did not know it was written in the "Quran"
I was already submitting from before but when the "ayats" were recited I was confired that
this is right, this is the truth, ( so I have become "muslim") you were a submitter from
before (okay) no you're not, you become a "muslim" you've not announced to the world
that you are submitted, but you knew I was submitting from before, (if a non-muslim is
doing the same thing) no, I am telling you any human-being, listen, any human-being in
the world there are certain things that he already submits but he doesn't know what is
the truth and what is false so when he reads an "ayat" of "Quran" there are certain things
that he's already submitting because he has to submit, "Allah's" made a nature of ours
that they will submit so when he read the "ayat" there are certain "ayats" he was already
submitting from before so for those "Ayats" he says I am already a "muslim" submitter
from before but not the whole "Quran" there are so many things he was doing wrong so for
that he corrects and ammends and he's a submitter to that so he's in all his life, he's submitting,
submitting, submitting, one "ayats" two "ayats" three "ayats" submitter, submitter, but at
the same time he was also submitting certain "ayats" from before when the "ayats" are rehearsed,
he said yes, I submit from before I was submitting I have been already agreeing to not to do
adultery from before, it was not that it was written in the "Quran" so he was doing it
from before but when the "ayats" were recited to him he said yes, I was submitting before,
I agree, I submit now, before I was submitting those essence of the "ayats" of the message.
Thank you.
